Honda's blue coolant cost around 50ish. It's what they use in their new Hondas.

My 2002 EP3 had green coolant. Radiator fan will turn on like mad every minute. Flushed it to the blue Honda coolant. Radiator fan turns on every 10minutes instead.

Goes to show the Honda fluid have greatly improved over its previous green fluid. It wasn't just a colour change.

Have not yet. It probably already has the blue one. My temp guage shows the operating temperature is normally between 87 and 96c.

Only traffic jams, I have seen instances of 103c which is when the radiator fan kicks in.

Oil temp so far average around mid 90s on normal drives. Peak of 103c on with 10min of hard driving. Not sure how it does on wakefield yet but I'm hoping doesn't see 120c too reguarly.

Which coolant is easier to buy? blue or green?

**stienerv2** · 08-09-2011 09:42 PM

You can get green at any auto shop, blue is a bit rarer

Bit confused on how I should run the Valve Cover tube that normally circulates from the airbox to the Valve Cover. Can I block it? Let it vent to the atmosphere? Or get a filter? Should it run back into the intake like on the airbox?

I have read through a far bit of stuff, a lot of different set ups floating around. But can't find a definitive answer of how to correctly set it up.

Is it okay if I have blocked it?

I read through this: are breather filter bad?? Which was probably the most detail description I could find. Doesn't mention anything about blocking it though, or maybe I am reading it wrong.

I've seen little pod filters that just stick on to it on many k swaps so im pretty sure you can use that to fill the hole.

If you can't route it back to the filtered side of the intake then I would fit a filter to it. I think that it is part of the PCV system and that air is meant to be able to be sucked into and out of the VC there.
